Here's a show that we recommend. Have you ever finished a book and just needed to talk about it immediately or wanted to know the wildest research an author has done for a book or even what booktalk books are actually worth your time? Hi, I'm Morgan Book. Yes, that is actually my last name.
Starting point is 00:00:40 And this is Off the Shelf, my new podcast that covers everything related to books. Each Thursday I chat with other bookworms and authors or sometimes it's just me rambling about my latest book obsession. From book to screen updates to hot takes on new releases and of course our monthly book club discussions, I've got you covered. So get your TBR list ready and listen to Off the Shelf wherever you get your podcasts. Acast helps creators launch, grow and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com. Hey, Patty. What a pleasure to have you in.
Starting point is 00:01:11 We're coming in before this episode starts. You're here doing your show. It's like an English or British comedian show. It's called The Acast Show. Hey, Patty, what a pleasure to have you in. We're coming in before this episode starts. You're here doing your show. It's like an English or British comedian showcase. Yeah, it's called New Order. And they just ship three of us out here
Starting point is 00:01:35 and we just show you guys what's what. It's so good. I mean, it's always like big names in England who are getting even bigger. So I guess that's where you are. I guess so. I mean, it's just amazing to come here and spend a month in Melbourne. It's such an amazing city. Do you live here? Yeah. Why are you smiling at me? No, no, no. I think I like living here. Whereabouts are you based in England? I'm in London, London, which you
Starting point is 00:02:01 know, it's hard. That's a, that's a, one of the big cities. It's a global city. It is a global capital. Yeah. Would you say Melbourne is? No, I don't think I think Sydney probably is the only one in Australia that's probably like a global capital. Right. Well, I'll be there in a month. So I'll compare notes. Yeah. But yeah, it's nice. I mean, the show's just, you know, just an hour in the evening and then the rest of the time is just mine to do what I want. Yeah, awesome. Are you working your way towards like an Edmure show
Starting point is 00:02:29 or something? This year I won't be. I did two Edmures on the trot and I won't be doing a new show this year, but I probably will next year. Yeah, cool. But yeah, so you work at, you, you're set at New Order.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Is that like a classic hits 20 or is it like working towards the next thing? I like the idea of the classic hits. That's nice. It's kind of a combination. I mean, you know, when you go into Edinburgh or when one does a solo show in Melbourne, it's a lot of pressure, you know, to get the hour just right. Whereas effectively we're all doing a club 20. And so you can sort of play around with little bits, have all bits, sprinkle a little bit of newer stuff here and there, play with it. It's really nice. I mean, I don't think I can remember
Starting point is 00:03:14 a time when I just did 20 minutes every single night, you know? It's kind of like what you should be doing. Yeah. Perfect. That's what our job should be. Yeah. That way, when you start comedy, the dream is that you just have to turn up somewhere and do 20 minutes. Yeah. But now that I'm here, it feels too good to be true. I'm waiting for the catch. When do they put you in the, in the lineup?
Starting point is 00:03:32 Is it the same each night? There is an order, but we mix around with it sometimes. It's Amy Annette. She's awesome. Generally me in the middle. I'm all right. And then Emmanuel Sanoubi. Do you know Emmanuel?
Starting point is 00:03:44 No. It's unbelievably strong. He's been taking me to the gym. Oh sick. He's so unfathomably strong. It's crazy. Yeah he's I've seen his photo and I think it says he used to be a bouncer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He looks like a big unit. He's been taking me to the gym and what's amazing about being that strong is that he goes we go to the gym and what's amazing about being that strong is that he goes, we go to the gym and everyone there knows him. Like he's like a regular already and they're all talking about their diets and their cuts, but no one wants to talk to me about. He was talking to this bodybuilder. He was like talking about what he's trying
Starting point is 00:04:16 to get to for a competition. And then I just went, yeah, I'm sitting about 72 kilos, but I'm trying to get up to it. And they just, it just cut the conversation dead. I'd love just to, I thought because I'm going to the gym to it and they just cut the conversation dead. I thought because I'm going to the gym with an incredibly strong man that I would get some residual respect. But it doesn't, it's like I'm with him. Yeah, I think actually I look even smaller. It's like there's a big horse race in Melbourne, the Melbourne Cup, and horses that come over from Europe will often have like a traveling pony or a donkey or
Starting point is 00:04:45 a goat or something. That's like their travel companion. Really? Just to invite them? Yeah. So I wonder if that like, you're like the pony. You're his pony. Is that why they brought me over here? It's crazy. Just to keep everyone calm and... The budget's getting out of control when they're bringing British acts over with their own
Starting point is 00:05:02 pony to make them feel stronger. At the gym. We need someone less strong and less funny. So the show's on every night apart from Mondays at the Melbourne town hall in the cloakroom. And can you tell I beg it is from the name? And it's on six well, I mean, that's what you want though, right? It's actually 130 to be fair. That's a good size.
Starting point is 00:05:24 It's a lovely size. Yeah. And yeah, 615, 515 on Sundays. But anyway, I thought I'm about to play the mini episode I just recorded with Hayley and AJ. And then we'll come back at the end of it. And I'm going to ask you the two questions I asked them. Love that.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Welcome to Who Knew It? with Matt Stewart, a mini episode. The show where the guests write the wrong answers. I'm the titular Matt Stewart and our first guest is performing her show, her show Wild Flutters at the Melbourne Intentional Comedy Festival. It's Hayley Spruill. Hi. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Welcome to Australia. Thank you. I like it here. I'm gonna try my hardest. I have a real habit of mimicking accents and honestly regardless of race so it gets me in trouble. Okay. As a white woman. I feel safe in this room however. Yeah. But every now and then I just I'll just start to reflect your accent back and it's really bad and I can't get out of it. I really hope you do that.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah. I don't think I'll fool me. But I feel like I want to promote that I'm from New Zealand. Yeah. Because it's a point of difference. Now I've really into it. Yeah. I don't know where this accent came from.
Starting point is 00:06:35 That was amazing to watch. Yeah, thank you. In real time. Well, what happened is I spent $40,000 on an acting degree. So just any time that I get to use the accent. Of course. Accent work, you know, I'll just slip it in. I think a lot of actors in your position
Starting point is 00:06:46 do the same thing, actually. Every time I do a different accent, it's just like the cost per day at drama school goes down. So good. Yeah, I think Australian audiences do enjoy a Kiwi accent, for sure. I think it's the worst one in the world. No, no, I think it's-
Starting point is 00:07:02 I agree, as a fellow Kiwi. Oh, that's, you just don't know how good you've got it. I think it's barely an accent. I think this is what people sound like when they haven't, they don't have an accent. Yeah, when they. They're reading words out loud. You sound like it. That's, that's, that's a real American attitude.
Starting point is 00:07:17 No, no, not in the, I don't have an accent. I have an accent, but it's one, it's what people sound like when there is no influence on that accent. Yeah. And when it's isolated and so far away from the rest of the world. It's a beautiful accent. Thank you. Thank you So you're not even here yet our second guest This week is not forming at the Comedy Festival, but you doing any letterboxed? Four nothing on the docket right now. I'm more of an audience. I'm playing the role of audience member.
Starting point is 00:07:48 That's a really important role to play. Well, it's AJ. Did I say that? I don't know. I can't remember. So we're doing a super mini episode because a little press for time. Just one question mini app.
Starting point is 00:08:00 And the way the show works is I ask a relatively obscure trivia question. And our contestants have to write a convincing fake answer I then read their answers as well as the real one and I have to guess which one is correct. The question on this episode comes from Simon from Seafood in Victoria and the question is what character debuted in Marvel Comics giant size man thing issue five in 1975? The character. So you've just got to come up with a name of a some sort of superhero, supervillain or whatever character and give it a brief description of what their power is or whatever. And it came out in 1975. That doesn't necessarily
Starting point is 00:08:36 help you but you know if you want to go for a vibe and while they're writing their answers this is how the scoring works. So you get one point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant and another point if point if your fake answer is guessed by the other contestant, and another point if you correctly guess the answer. And by the way, I'm also playing as the house. And yeah, that's right. I put in two of my fake answers, and I get a point for each one of those
Starting point is 00:08:57 that the guests choose. So each of us can score up to two points per round, which seems fair, but the probability actually favors me, the house. And now questions come from our great Patreon supporters if you want to submit a question Sign up on any level via patreon.com slash do go on pod LinkedIn the show notes. Mm-hmm. I'm glad I actually knew that one The answer to that my god. Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:18 I've got it the one question of the episode. Yeah That's perfect. That's a that's a perfect result for you. You should really clean this up. Yeah I should actually. I don't know if I if you know my producers warned you but I'm a winner. Oh yeah. No I think that's great news. This is a game for winners. Yeah yeah good good good good. I don't take losing well but it won't happen as I'm a winner. Where are you messaging me AJ? I'm messaging Matt Stuart comedy on Instagram. Is that okay? Yeah, that's perfect. My Facebook got hacked recently so I lost
Starting point is 00:09:52 Facebook. I lost a 15 year old Facebook profile. Which is like, it's freeing now I'm like thank God but at the time you're like that's been my like cultural standing. That's how I've proven I exist as a person. I long to get rid of mine though. This was the only way to have someone hack it and get it deleted. I just log into so much stuff on Facebook. I don't know how to log into my life without it.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Oh my God, Matt Stewart's following me. Yeah, it's weird. It's always funny to find out who you're not following on this show. Alright, the answers are in. Okay. Here you go. The question is, what character debuted in Marvel Comics' giant-sized man thing, issue
Starting point is 00:10:36 five, in 1975? The Barely Visible Woman. A second wave feminist spoof of the invisible man the barely visible woman was a villain able to get into any building or situation undetected as she was never noticed by the men in power option to creepy peeper a peeping Tom with x-ray vision and he uses it to be creepy instead of making money or anything like that okay you would though wouldn't you yeah you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:11:05 If you were gifted that super power. Yeah. I'm having a little look. Is the x-ray just to see their bones and guts and stuff? Yeah. That is hot. Yeah. Get real and take it all off.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Literally, the skin and everything. Option three, Bessie the Hell Cow, an immortal vampire cow that can transform into a half cow half bat. Option number four, Shayla, a shy lady whose superpower was quietly listening and weaponizing the information she gathered. Or finally the incandescent lab janitor. Greg Grint was a cleaner at a scientific lab where he accidentally spilt some toxic goo, giving him the ability to glow as hot and bright as the sun.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Wowzer. What an ability. So you've got the barely visible woman, the creepy peeper, Bessie the Hell Cow, Shayla or the incandescent lab janitor. Shayla's very, just probably describes a lot of non-superpowered people, right? Like listens and uses the information they learn. I think I do that. Maybe I'm here.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Oh my God. You shouldn't be admitting that. What is this game? If not listening, taking an information and making decisions based off it. There you go. Yeah. Listening's not my superpower. I'm one of those people that just waits till I can start talking about myself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 00:12:28 I'm just gonna admit it. You know what I mean? I think that's good. Now. I just gonna use that against you though What do you what do you think in AJ? I think that here's what I'm thinking I'm thinking Bessie the hellcat and here's why I think that Bessie as a name for a cow We'd agree that's like a stereotypical name for a cow. Yeah,'s why. I think that Bessie as a name for a cow, we'd agree that's like a stereotypical name for a cow. What era was this? 75. I reckon that's when that would have been at peak memery to name a cow Bessie. So I reckon it will be cashing in on the brand new meme of cows being named Bessie. That's
Starting point is 00:12:59 what I'm going for. Good thinking. All right. I didn't hear a word he said. I wasn't listening, I was just actually waiting so I could talk. You were thinking about the answer you wrote and how good it was. How good, how good. This is a Kiwi special, I'm just realising, but are you, you're North versus South Island? Yeah. Is this like a... Yeah, do we want to team up or make a civil war? Well, usually we would go against each other, but now we're in Australia. We've got no troops. So we kind of have to have a choice.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Exactly. But we love you. Yeah, I know. God, you guys are so lame. You want a beer? I want a blender. Can you remind me the first, the- Barely visible woman?
Starting point is 00:13:36 Barely visible woman is my vote. Because I would say back in that day, in the day that this was a character, all women were kind of invisible. Do you know what I mean? As characters, they wouldn't have written them properly. So they're like, how do we flesh out this character? Do you know what I mean? It's too complicated as a woman. So- Do you think it's accidental or like a cutting social commentary on the part of the writers?
Starting point is 00:13:57 I think it has depth. Yeah. I think it really is a social commentary. But yeah, that's my, that's my pick because they were just like so easy to make her invisible. All right. Here's the right, they were just so easy to make her invisible. All right, here's the answers. The incandescent lab janitor. That was the house. I was pretty happy with that. Sounds real fun. And his alter ego being named Greg Grint. Yeah, Greg Grint's Greg. It works. The alliteration in comic book character names is pervasive. I don't think this will surprise anyone.
Starting point is 00:14:25 The peeping Tom was AJ. Guilty! What surprised anyone? Known pervert. Thank you. We have just met by the way for the listeners. Your reputation precedes you, I'll be honest. Already getting called a pervert by someone I met 20 minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Shayla, the shy lady who Superbell was quietly listening and weaponizing what she heard, that was Hayley. Oh my goodness. That's good stuff. And not miles away from the barely invisible woman which you went for, but I'm afraid that was the house. Yeah, okay. The correct answer was Bessie the Hell Cow.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yes, yes! You knew it. I got it. Are you proud of me, Matt? I knew it with Matt Stewart. Yeah, that's right. I mean, you did it. You did the name of the show.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Because we called it a truce earlier, does that mean I also get points? I vote yes. Because we're a team? Yeah. Okay, well, I mean, the scoring system here is very malleable, so. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yeah, if that's what you wanna do, you wanna team up. Yeah, yeah. I don't wanna split though. So team New Zealand. No, no, yeah, if that's what you want to do, you want to team up. Yeah. I don't want to split them. So team New Zealand. No, no, yeah. I like it's teaming up versus no one else as well. No, the house. Okay, the house.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And the house didn't score a point because Hayley picked the barely invisible one. You really don't get a lot of momentum going with a one question game. I don't know. It was enough, I think. Almost you reckon the rest of your episodes are too long. Yes. Just a reflection. Well, this would be a lot easier to do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Imagine how many episodes I could record in a day. Literally. If you think about it, the title, if it is more than one question per episode, it should be Who Knew These with Matt Stueys. That's true. But that's not his name, And so that would be stupid. So therefore. It's getting hard to be on your team.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Okay. AJ, you're being weird. Stop it. You know what? Perth. We, um, the person we're waiting for isn't here yet. So we could do one more. I've got another question prepared if you're up for it. Let's do it. All right. Question number two.
Starting point is 00:16:21 This one comes from Mr. Heggy, who is currently in Austin, Texas. Hello. And Mr. Heggie's question is, in 2008, a road sign was erected in the Welsh city of Swansea, which read in Welsh, I can't read this, but, Nidwyff, Yin, Wye, Swethaffer, you know what? I think believe in yourself. I think you were nailing it. Oh, okay. Yeah. Why, you know what? I think believe in yourself. I think you were nailing it. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah. Oh, bread. And I get really cold. Oh, actually I'm really good at this. And for which, and who it's waith, it would give you. What's the English translation for that? Gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:16:57 So, you know, it's a sentence or two while you're writing your answers. Here's some more info on Bessie. Simon writes, circa 1675, Bessie, a domesticated cow living in a Swiss farm, apparently the best milker on the farm as well, becomes the prey of none other than Count Dracula. Because Dracula can't find any available humans to feed on at the time, so he goes for the cow. Bessie seemingly dies and her owner, Hans, is very upset and lays her to rest.
Starting point is 00:17:27 But unbeknownst to Hans, Hans, Bessie has become an undead monster known as Hell Cow and rises from her grave some three nights later in search of Dracula to take revenge on him and ends up pairing up with Deadpool. And, uh, Hmm. Sounds like a Deadpool supporting cast member. of Dracula to take revenge on him and ends up pairing up with Deadpool and sounds like a Deadpool supporting cast member apparently was ranked in the top ten Marvel vampire characters I do love the origin story I think that's really
Starting point is 00:17:56 fun that Dracula in a moment of desperation fed on a cow that then became a vampire that's fun got to be pretty hungry though. Do you know what I mean? To eat beef. To eat beef. Humans find beef. I don't know. Cause I, yeah, at first I'm like, well, top 10, but I'm like, maybe how many Marvel vampires are there? Of 11. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whoa. That's true. And Dracula's public domain as well. So you could presumably put more than one Dracula in that top 10. as well so he could presumably put more than one Dracula in that top 10 yeah you could you know Dracula Dracula yeah that's a strong joke sorry I'm stealing jokes from scrubs oh my god all right here are your options team New Zealand versus the house it's one all so it all comes down to this triple points fun
Starting point is 00:18:42 around question is in 2008 a road sign was erected in the Welsh city of Swansea What was the English translation? Stop, I hope you can read Welsh because if you can't you're about to drive off a cliff Option two, I like big trucks and I cannot lie Hong Kong Option three. I'm not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated. Option four, Aniiv is a dirty cheating slag. Don't let her near your husband's.
Starting point is 00:19:15 She will bed them and ruin your marriage. Or here be zombies, mind your brains. I can't believe one of these is true. It's your pick first Haley too. I wonder if this is a town with a sense of humor and I've put in and I've done the translation one. It's a bit of a gag. You know, if you need this to be translated, send it to, I think that would be my pick because I love a town and the Welsh have a great sense of humour.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Yeah, great. So that would be me. I'd go there, they're having a laugh. We're a jolly old town. You know, one of the, we don't take ourselves too seriously here, that we might pick. All right, great. I'll lock that in for you.
Starting point is 00:19:57 What do you think, AJ? Could we do a rundown very quickly? Yes, stop. I hope you can read Welsh. Cause if you can't, you better drop a cliff. I like big trucks and I cannot lie, honk honk. I'm not in the office at the moment send any work to be translated. Neve is a dirty cheating slag don't let her near your husband's she'll bed them and ruin your marriage or he be zombies mind your brains. I'm very curious by the ones which are
Starting point is 00:20:20 using like English phrasing because I wonder if translation works that way. Like in Wales is Baby Got Back, are those the lyrics, the Welsh lyrics to Baby Got Back? Yeah, how directly can it be translated? Yeah, yeah. I'm going to, what was the second one? I like Big Trucks. What was the first one? I hope you can read Welsh. Yeah, I'm going to go that one.
Starting point is 00:20:44 That's a brutal one. All right Brutal for two of us Here's he wrote the answers. He'd be zombies mind your brains. That was AJ doing the very thing. I After I wrote it. I was like that's such an English way of phrasing a sentence Yeah, like there not going to be a direct translation. And also like we just talked about a vampire. Yeah. Yeah. You can see where your head was at.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Neve is a dirty cheating slag. She'll bed your husband's great phrasing. That was Haley. Man, I sweated when I, cause I hadn't pre-read it. So when I got to that, I'm like, so I can't believe my brain access neve. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:21:24 Yeah. Neve. And a Welsh name. Cause it's found in IA And a Welsh name. Yeah, neamp. Yeah. Oh man. I just love you. You've seen, you know, people do billboards when their husbands cheat and they're like, don't even do this kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Picture she's working at the, you know, at the, in the road department. Yeah. Yes. Yes. And she's like, Jason. And I'll get this through, because my boss doesn't actually speak Welsh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:49 I like big trucks and I cannot lie, Hong Kong. That was Mr. Higgy, the question writer. AJ went for stop. I hope you can read this, because if you can't, you're better off with Cliff. I'm afraid that was the house. Really? I was so convinced that was it.
Starting point is 00:22:02 That sounds like a country, European or Welsh country side kind of joke. Yeah. I have a sense of humour. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that means Hayley is correct. I'm not in the office at the moment, send any work to be translated. I love that. And it's funny because it's in not English. But it was actually a mistake. So they had the English and they do all their signs
Starting point is 00:22:27 in Welsh as well apparently. And that was sent off for translation and the reply came in Welsh and they assumed that was the translation. Yeah, fantastic. Pretty fun. So good. The BBC reported on it, bit of fun. All right, so final score check.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Okay. I'm so nervous. Cause it was triple points in that final round. Team New Zealand. You've really broken the game in that way. Wins the day on four points, beat in the house on two points. Amazing. I'd like to split from my Alliance.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Just cause I got those triple points. Yeah, you would have won either way. I could win this outright. This is such a North Island move. I actually split the Alliance. Okay, final scores. Oh God. In third place, on one point it's AJ, in second place on two points it's the house.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Out in front on three points, it's Hayley Spruill. Judas, Judas. And you're in Melbourne at the moment, is that right Hayley? I am in Melbourne at the moment. I mean clearly, because we're recording this, but you're... You're looking me right in the eye. I am. Here they are.
Starting point is 00:23:24 I'm not good at that though, so don't make me. I know, look away. And your show is on every night at The Greek? Every night at The Greek, 9.30, Wild Flooders. It's all about the world of erotica, smart porn, audio erotica. Wow. Are you taking anywhere after Melbourne?
Starting point is 00:23:38 Yeah, I'm going to Brisbane for a couple of days next, and the end of the month. Yeah, sick. Brisbane and then Sydney for end of the month. Yeah, sick. Brisbane and then Sydney for two shows. Awesome. Yeah, I know. It's my first time I haven't performed in, well, I performed in Melbourne years ago, but no one came. Oh, it must be nicer having people there.
Starting point is 00:23:54 It's nicer, yeah, nicer 10 years later to see faces in the crowd. It's a big difference, isn't it? Yeah. AJ, where can people find you? I have an Instagram. You can find me on Instagram at AJNHD HD and I also have a podcast called Cult Pop sure Which you can find at that anywhere so good. I'm doing my show bad boy at spleen
Starting point is 00:24:14 Every night apart from Mondays at 8 45. I'd love to see you there. Hmm. I can't I'm at 9 30 It just wouldn't make sense. It's stressful for me. I think you could have a night off I'm at 9.30, it just wouldn't make sense. Stressful, that's stressful for me. I think you could have a night off. Just treat yourself. Oh, you do a night off and come to mine, and I'll do a night off, come to this. I think that'd be really good.

So get your TBR list ready and listen to Off the Shelf wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Acast helps creators launch, grow, and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com. grow and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com. All right. How, that was so much fun. You didn't hear it, but geez, it was great fun. You can only imagine, can't you? This has honestly been one of the most disappointing. I thought I was going to be like in the in-crowd after today
Starting point is 00:26:00 and I'm even further away. No, no, you're- This is the gym all over again. You're deep in the in-crowd now. You're so far in. So the first question that was asked of them came from Simon from Seaford here in Melbourne. The question was what character debuted in Marvel Comics giant-sized man thing issue 5 in 1975. So there's some sort of comic character? And I asked them to give it what year 75 asked to give them their name and a brief description. How should we do this?
Starting point is 00:26:32 So they've obviously already scored their points. What if you get it right? I think you need to get more points because they can't guess yours possibly. So what do you reckon? Both of them are triple points for you? I think so. Yeah, all right. Here are your options for question number one. The barely visible woman, that's the first option. A second way of feminist spoof of the invisible man. The barely visible woman was a villain
Starting point is 00:26:57 able to get into any building or situation undetected as she was never noticed by the men in power. That's amazing. It's option one. Then you got Creepy Peeper, a peeping Tom with X-ray vision and he uses it to be creepy instead of making money or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Option three, Bessie the Hell Cow, an immortal vampire cow that can transform into a half cow, half bat form. Option four, Shayla, a shy lady whose superpower was quietly listening and weaponizing the information she gathered. Or finally the incandescent lab janitor, Greg Grint, was the cleaner at a scientific lab where he accidentally spilt some toxic goo giving him the ability to glow as hot and as bright as the sun. So you've got barely visible woman, creepy peeper, Bessie the Hell Cow,
Starting point is 00:27:48 Shayla or the incandescent lab janitor. It's probably wrong but I can't get the barely visible woman out my head. She sounds gorgeous. Don't you think? Yeah, I like it. I think she thinks she's... I know, I can tell that's wrong but I'm transfixed. I prefer listening to women anyway, but I'm transfixed.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I prefer listening to women anyway, so it's perfect for me. Well, I'd say if I was there, I'd have seen her. Yes, I think that's so true. If we could all get. I'd say barely there's a woman, not only you seen, you were acknowledged. Yeah, and I'm listening. I'm afraid that was written by The House. What was the real one?
Starting point is 00:28:28 The real one was Bessie the Hell Cow. Yeah, Vampire Cow. Yeah, comic books, huh? You a comic book guy? No, I like to get a thing called Viz. No. It's like a really rude comic book that I was really into. And Mad Magazine I used to like.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Oh yes. I never was into like, yeah, superhero. Or like R. Crumb, you know Robert Crumb, you ever read him? Yeah, oh well, I'm aware of him. But I didn't like, yeah, never into superheroes. Oh yeah, I've never read a comic book, but I just wasn't aware of him as a kid at all. No. Yeah, the shy lady who would weaponize her powers, that was Hayley.
Starting point is 00:29:06 That was good. And the creepy peeper, the peeping Tom, that was AJ. Alright, so the second and final question. What does it, that means you just gave a point to the house, by the way. There's a surprise. So that means, so after, and AJ scored a point, he got the correct answer. So the scores are you and Haley at the score house on two AJ are one. But that means you just need to get you get your triple points and it's you jump to the
Starting point is 00:29:36 head. Let's do it. What's your Welsh like? Can you speak any Welsh? No, but the same as my backwards. So the question comes from Mr. Heggie, who's currently in Austin, Texas. And the question is, 2008, a roadside was erected in the Welsh city of Swansea, which read, I mean, I need with you, Swida, if I can't say it, but it's like a sentence or two. And you, you had to give the English translation.
Starting point is 00:30:07 So here are the- A road sign. A road sign, yep. Stop. I hope you can read Welsh, because if you can't, you're about to drive off a cliff. Wow, I love that. I like big trucks and I cannot lie, honk, honk.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Crazy. I'm not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated. Option three, option four. Neve is a dirty cheating slag. Don't let her near your husband's. She will bed them and ruin your marriage. Or here be zombies. Mind your brains. Wow. I hope it's the one about, I hope you know English. I hope you know Welsh. Yeah. Well, I've got a feeling that's too funny. Can you rattle them out again for me?
Starting point is 00:30:52 Yeah. I like big trucks and I cannot lie. Hong Kong. I'm not in the office at the moment. That one? Yep. Locked in. Yeah. All right. This is the kind of thing you'd see on Reddit. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Today I learn that the Welsh microwave is.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Popty ping. Oh, that was we had that on this show a month ago. Really? Bang. You'd be good at this show. I'm a super fan of this pod. I'm the only patron. Is that true? It's just me on different accounts. You're bouncing all around the globe with some of these addresses you're giving me,
Starting point is 00:31:27 but I appreciate that. It makes me feel. Yeah, some people have VPNs to stop paying for stuff. I do so I can pay for more stuff. So I'll just check in this. Oh my God, this is really interesting. Okay, here's who wrote the answers. Haley wrote the Neve is a dirty cheat and slag. The one about driving off a cliff that you liked.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Hope you read Welsh, that was the house. And AJ wrote the zombies one. The correct answer is I'm not in the office at the moment. Wow. Any work to be translated. You got to correct. Triple points. You've got triple points there, which means having not been on the episode, the final
Starting point is 00:32:10 scores are in equal second place. It's Hayley and AJ on one point, but out in front, equal winners. It's Paddy in the house on three points. I've always said I love the triple points. So good. That's amazing. Hey, just Matt jumping in from the editing suite, realizing that I forgot Hayley also got triple points. So yes, it's a three way tie. Bloody hell, how exciting is that? AJ on one point, but out in front on three points a piece, it's Hayley,
Starting point is 00:32:46 Patti and the house. Awesome. Oh, well thanks so much for joining us on this mini. Hey, why don't you come back in a few weeks and do a full episode? Would love to. That'd be great. I've not done a full one. No, no, you did. Oh, right.
